A live recording of the song 'New Skin' appeared on the Family Values compilation CD.Īfter touring with Black Sabbath, Incubus began recording Make Yourself, which was released on October 26, 1999. The band then continued to tour, playing in Europe and America with the likes of Sugar Ray, Hoobastank, 311, Far, One Minute Silence, Cold, Limp Bizkit, (hed) p.e., Snot, Soulfly, System of a Down, Korn, Papa Roach, as well as playing the Warped Tour for three dates, the Ozzfest and the Family Values tour in the summer and fall of 1998. In February 1998, DJ Lyfe was asked to leave because of trouble within the band and Chris Kilmore was brought in to fill the vacant position. 'A Certain Shade Of Green' was the only single from the album and didn't make a dent in the singles charts. Incubus collaborated with DJ Greyboy to produce the song 'Familiar' for the Spawn movie soundtrack in 1997. Many songs from Fungus Amongus were rereleased on Enjoy Incubus, but were touched up. Enjoy Incubus was released on Immortal Records on January 7 of that year, exactly two years after the band's second demo. On November 1, 1995, Fungus Amongus was released on the band's own label, Stopuglynailfungus Music on Chillum.īetween that release and their 1997 major label debut EP, Enjoy Incubus, the band acquired DJ Lyfe, who introduced hip-hop sounds to the band's already diverse mix of music. On January 7, 1995, the demo tape Incubus was released, featuring songs that would later appear on their first album, Fungus Amongus, and their EP, Enjoy Incubus. One song of interest from this demo was 'Bathe In My Snot', which harnessed much of the band's newly created energy. For the next few years, Incubus continued to play live and write music, which cumulated in their first demo recording released in 1994, titled Closet Cultivation. In 1991, after adopting the name Incubus, the band began playing at parties in their neighborhood. At this time they began writing their own music. They asked their friend, Brandon Boyd to join and he became the vocalist.

They mostly played Metallica and Megadeth covers and were able to get a few gigs at friend's parties.

Jose Pasillas, Alex Katunich, Mike Einziger began jamming together while at Calabasas High School in 1990.
